what security?
 
just wondering, while looking for insurance im confronted with a huge list of security products so which ones get the most money off insurance without breaking the bank?

Depends, I checked last renewal as I'd got annoyed with alarm and thrown it at a passing chav. A £300 alarm system would have knocked a grand total of £17 off my premium...

Indeed. Alarms and immobilisers are only good for leaving you stranded somewhere either rough or freezing.

i just use a alarmed disc lock best of both worlds and a chain locked to something large and metal.

Yup and yup.

Best bike security in the world is being sat somewhere close with a crossbow.

I don't condone first suggestion

1: put bike in house, but if not.....
2: dogs, can hear any little tealeaf trying to nick off with your beloved, but if your out and a serious suggestion
3: OnGuard disc lock, thatcham approved(were when I bought one) fuggin heavy, rather large and noticeable and unpickable and they can't get croppers in em. £30, a lot more than a normal disc lock, worth every penny, and they are so big you don't forget to take em off
4: meta alarm

thing is like YC said it only knocks pence off your premium, and they are only deterant measures.

I always put no security, even if I have chains and alarm etc as it makes little difference to the premium and doesn't give them a loop hole to get out of paying up if it's stolen " can you proove the bike alarm was on, megahugeunbreakable chain was around the bike etc " - if you have security, then that's an extra piece of mind for you.

Just my opinion
